Harbour Island (G)
Useful dual bumper winner. Shaped well when second at Carlisle on his hurdling bow but only seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Worth another chance for good yard.

High Point (G)
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), not lacking for stamina when winning at Haydock in September. Run best excused next time but pulled up on his hurdling bow at Fakenham recently. Not written off yet though.

Is This For Real (G)
[T]
£80,000 point winner who landed bumper at Kelso in March. Has shaped with promise both runs over hurdles, bad mistake last when fourth of 14 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, good) 29 days ago. Open to improvement.

Le Fabuleux Buck's (G)
66/1, encouraging fifth of 14 in novice hurdle over C&D (good to soft) on hurdles bow 38 days ago. Can build on it here.

Liam Mera Kai (G)
Impressive bumper winner on debut in March and has made a promising start over hurdles, edged out only late on when runner-up in novice hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 26 days ago. Solid form claims.

Made All (G)
[T]
Fair three-time 1m4f winner on the Flat in 2025. Showed an aptitude for hurdling when debut seventh in 2m Sedgefield maiden last month and can take a step forward now.

Tom Midgley | S England | 5 | 72.6 kg |

Sense Of Reason (G)
Fair 10f Flat winner who showed some promise when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 33 days ago. Capable of better.

So Proud (G)
Shirocco gelding who was well supported when making a winning start in bumper at Haydock in May for Don Cantillon. Since changed hands for £100,000 and he rates an interesting prospect on his hurdles debut.

K Brogan | J & A O'Neill | 5 | 72.6 kg |

Supreme Shot (G)
Lightly-raced sort who took a step forward when seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 23 days ago. Sort to do better in the longer term.

Toby Wynne | O Greenall & J Guerriero | 5 | 72.6 kg |

The Egyptian Ginge (G)
[H]
Fair form in bumpers last season. Well held in a useful Cheltenham conditions race and Haydock Grade 2 since switching to hurdles but he must enter calculations now his sights are lowered.

Mr Jamie Neild | N & W Twiston-Davies | 5 | 72.6 kg |

Glancing Back (M)
[H]
Has shown ability in maiden hurdles at Taunton and Huntingdon 8 months apart. Sort to be seen in a better light in handicaps in due course.

Paragon (G)
Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Andrew Balding but down the field both starts for his current yard. Goes hurdling now with more required.
